Vulnerability Overview

The Plethora Plugins Tabs + Accordions plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the anchor parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.2, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-85 (Doubled Character XSS Manipulations) The web application does not filter user-controlled input for executable script disguised using doubling of the involved characters.
